Event Description:
Summer of ArtCar 2008
June 1 – August 31
Intermedia Arts is pleased to present the ArtCars at a number of community events and celebrations throughout the summer, for the 14th year! Due to lack of funding, the traditional parade will not take place this year. However, there are still many opportunities to create, participate in and enjoy these one-of-a-kind mobile creations. ArtCars, often humorous, are a symbol of the right to freedom of expression and the yearning to express individuality. ArtCars encourage people to express themselves on a daily basis. These works of art open up dialogues and create community connections. Every day is a parade when art comes out of the gallery and rolls into your neighborhood.
